I am looking to hire a Parent Support and Outreach Coordinator to join Encompass Early Intervention!

Are you a parent whose child has received North Dakota Part C Early Intervention services? Have you ever wished you could use your own experiences to help another family navigate the early years of their child’s development? This may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

time as the program expands or

-Help identify and share resources appropriate for families navigating prenatal diagnoses, NICU experiences, and the birth-to-three years.
-Plan and host family and parent group events.
-Provide emotional support to parents and help connect families with community resources.
-Assist families with paperwork and informal and formal referrals to other community services and supports.

*For someone with personal experience navigating a prenatal diagnosis with their own child, there may also be an opportunity to receive specialized training to support families prenatally as they prepare for their baby’s birth and plan for the transition into parenthood and Early Intervention services.

No degree is required. Your lived experience as a parent whose child received Part C Early Intervention Services from any ND provider is what matters most.

This is an opportunity to take what you’ve learned through your own family’s journey and use it to make a difference for other parents. You can help families feel less alone, find the resources they need, and build confidence as they navigate their child’s early years.

I am looking for someone who is genuinely interested in this opportunity and ready to take ownership of the responsibilities that come with it. Serious applicants only, please.

If you are interested, or know someone who would be a great fit, please private message me- Moe Swanson. I would love to connect! If you would like to email your resume, you can send to [email protected]
RE: Parent Position

Please share with others who may know a parent who would be perfect for this role!

* If looking for fulltime:

If you are interested in this becoming a full-time position, I would love for you to put together a brief outline of how you would build community connections, increase awareness of our services, and create opportunities to reach families who may benefit from support. I’m interested in hearing your ideas for working with hospitals, NICUs, medical providers, connecting with families receiving a prenatal diagnosis, and other community partners to help families learn about the resources available through Encompass Early Intervention. This would help me understand how you envision growing the program and expanding your role over time. The sky is the limit❤️

Looking for an easy Halloween craft to keep your toddler busy? This paper plate pumpkin takes just a few supplies and is simple enough for little hands to help with! Grab a paper plate, some orange paint, and let them get creative. Once it dries, add a green paper stem and vines, then finish it off with a simple jack-o-lantern face. 🎃 🧡

Planning to make this? Comment with a photo of your Little One's pumpkin-proud art!

It’s officially leaf pile season! There’s just something about a big pile of leaves that makes for the perfect fall activity. All that jumping, climbing, balancing, and moving through the leaves can help little ones build gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and body awareness while they play.

Big jumps, big laughs, and a little extra work for whoever has to rake it all up again! Be honest: who gets more tired, the kids or the person doing the raking?😂

October is SIDS Awareness Month and Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Month!

Did you know that thousands of infant sleep-related deaths happen each year, and many are preventable? Help keep our little ones safe by remembering the ABCs of Safe Sleep:

Alone: Place your baby in their own separate crib or bassinet.
Back: Always place baby on their back to sleep.
Crib: Use a firm mattress and a fitted sheet only, no blankets, toys, or bumpers!

Need help finding a safe sleep space? City-County Health District is proud to be an official distributor for the Cribs for Kids program! This program offers free safe sleep education and cribs for eligible families!

Expecting this fall? As you get ready to welcome your little one, there’s a lot to think about, from tiny clothes and nursery prep to those first few months together. Remember, every baby develops at their own pace. Simple moments like talking, playing, cuddling, and exploring together can all support your baby’s growth. 💛🍂

And when you need support, you don’t have to navigate each new stage on your own! Send this post to someone who may be a good fit for our services, or save it for later!
